How did Mark Antony win the crowd at Caesar's funeral? By appealing to finances, entertainment, and politics By appealing to emotion, reason, and ethics By appealing to love, honor, and patriotism By appealing to fear, beliefs, and morality
the people liked caesar. the senate thought he was becoming ambitious king/ emperor type. when caesar was assassinated mark Anthony addressed the people --- his audience. he called caesar a friend" who was "faithful and just". He gave the impression that caesar should not have been assassinated (which was the crowds perspective).He reminded them that Caesar was a great war hero and brought back slaves (captives) vital to rome and filled romes coffers. that he was a generous man. He had promised to say nothing negative about the assassination of Caesar. So Antony and called the conspirators “honorable men,” but the tone of his voice spoke otherwise. When he said they are honorable men, he was actually mocking them, and the crowd caught on and started to riot. he curses those that spilt Caesars blood (killed him). that Caesars spirit needs revenge. This turns the crowd solely against the senate.
did you get the answer
By appealing to emotion, reason, and ethics By speaking at Caesar's funeral, Marc Anthony was taking his life into his own hands. If he slipped up once by seeming to bash the new rule by any means, he would've been seized and put to death. So he weaved around the crowd's mental stance and stated everything in a somewhat sarcastic tone, as to praise Caesar.
